311 - A Missing Person

"You should file a missing person report, sir. I'll get you the form," the soldier behind the desk said, getting up from his chair.But Torfo had a realization and halted the soldier. "No. Wait."The soldier looked at him. "What? It's a missing person. He has to file a report.""Not this one," Torfo said.The other soldier who took him to the lobby shared the same confusion. "What do you mean not this one?"He glanced at the old man before looking at his colleague. "Well... Like he said, this was the first time he has done this.""Oh right, we mustn't jump into conclusion first. Oh old man, tell us why you think it's kidnapping?" the other soldier that was standing by the door said.The soldier who just stood up from his seat eventually sat down again. "How can I forget? Let me write down your testimony first. And then we can decide if you are able to file the missing person report. You don't mind if we ask you some questions, do you?

312 - Potato Sack

He knew from experience and information rotating among the soldiers that weapons with a piece of clothing on their hilt came from the Fire Kingdom. Now, that can't be trusted one hundred percent because bandits might have tried to deceive people with that method, but assuming as such was still an option. So his plan was to ask his colleagues back in the Erthas and Shuyen Wall, whether they had seen a red haired person, or if there's any suspicious cargo mount that had passed their post.He knew it was risky to ask that question without any significant details. But he could make up a story based on Uncle Phillips's story the previous day. He could alter the story a bit, but the base was still the same.When he returned to the barrack before noon, he used his break time to write a letter to his colleagues in Shuyen Wall.'Why didn't I see anyone with red hair passing by when I was there? I remember many people passing by with and without cargo. If he somehow mount

313 - Asking help

The windlet who Torfo slipped his letter into was confused when he took his letter from his bag. The address was Shuyen Wall, but he wasn't a border windlet that travels to the border to deliver letter. He couldn't even fly.He knew it was a mistake in the divider's part, so he immediately returned to the headquarters to return the letter. However, because of this mishap, the letter arrived the next day. Although it was immediately replied and Torfo received it at around three o'clock.Sadly, Torfo didn't receive the information about any red head coming through the gate. But he got information that the cargo mounts or carriages passing through the Shuyen Wall didn't have the big sized crates or barrels. He had mentioned this in his letter with the reason that his missing friend might be hiding inside the crates, to avoid his soldier friend asking more questions. But since there wasn't any, that means he could scratch Fire Kingdom from his list of suspects.Torf

314 - A Sense of Belonging

Jai finished reading the letter and looked up at the older man with pale red hair, then at the letter again. He focused on the words at the end of the letter.'You're the first person on my mind to help me with this. I do not force you, but if you accept, this would be a huge favor and I will never forget this. Please consider it, Jai. Sincerely, Torfo.'Jai's brows frowned. His mind was clouded with confusion and he unconsciously tilted his head from the absurd letter.'This is ridiculous. Why would he ask me? I mean, of all people? Surely he would have connections here and there. Why would he come to me? What made him think I can do this?' he wondered. He still couldn't forget their squabble in the mausoleum. They were like cat and dog that time, always in dispute whenever they meet and if there were no adults around. Though their fight eventually ended with a good note and a fair agreement laid upon the two, Jai had never thought he would be included in Torfo

315 - Prepare Well (1)

Jai returned to the square after talking to Barun. His friends were still there when he was there, confused about what was going on. Darrion and Miria could sense something was going on from how he suddenly left. Of course, they didn’t know what was happening, especially in Miria’s case. But of them trusted Jai to tell them, which what he was doing right now.“Darrion, I’ll need to talk to you after this,” Jai said.Darrion looked at him. He didn’t look surprised at all, rather, it looked like he knew. The blonde windlet nodded. “Sure.”Jai gave him a small smile. Then he turned to Miria, who was still sitting with the children, and smiled. “Miria. Let’s take a walk.”“Hm?” Miria had a questioning look on her face, but she agreed nonetheless. She smiled to the children. “I’ll be back in a few minutes, alright?”“Eh? What, are you guys going playing

316 - Prepare well (2)

“Well?” Miria looked at him.“I…” He looked at her seriously. “I want to help him save his nephew,” Jai said, looking determined.“Do you know where the nephew is?” Miria asked.“I don’t,” Jai shook his head.“Then how will you save him if you don’t know where he is?” Miria asked.“I will follow the lead from my friend and start from there,” he nodded his head as if he was sure.Miria tilted her head. “And when you get to that lead, what will you do? What if it leads you directly to their lair?”“That’s…” Jai hesitated. “Of course charge through and find the nephew.”There was another pause among the two as Jai thought of what he would do while Miria stared at him and waited for him to answer. But after a few seconds looking at him trying to fiddle with his answer, Miria laughed

317 - Team

“Alright. So, umm, what do you guys know about the Fire Kingdom?” Jai asked when all of them had settled down in Barun’s house. The old man had lent him his house so that they could converse in a more relaxed condition and without anyone else disturbing them.Darrion lowered his iced tea. “Lots,” he simply answered. Then he double take, “Well, only information though.”Oki laughed. “I bet my lots are not that much compared to this guy,” he pointed to Darrion who smirked in return. “Both of us had never been there. But we have our own share of information.”Jai smiled. “It’s alright,” then he turned to the other man in the room. “How about you, Sir Phillips?”The older man with pale red hair chuckled nervously. “Woah, I’m not comfortable with that nickname. It made me seem old.”Oki tilted his head. “How old are you, mister? Not tr

318 - A Lesson

Jai was in Darrion’s house, preparing for the rest of the things he’s going to bring. Darrion wasn’t around when he arrived, but Darisha was already there waiting for him. They had a talk for around one hour and a half about the journey before moving on to the preparation.Since Darrion’s father was a traveller herbalist, there were many stories in his letter. Darisha had searched the letters when he was working in the Fire Kingdom and read it to Jai. Thanks to that, he had more clues on what kind of place he was going to.The Fire Kingdom was in a mountain with many trees. He understood immediately that it must be in the middle of the forest, and he was smiling in excitement at the thought of it. It wasn’t that the forest in Deleima and Heruba wasn’t interesting enough to him, but the thought of going abroad and traveling in a forest. ‘I can finally travel just like people on Earth. I wonder if they have snow in there too? May

319 - Partners

Jai left the square to return to Darrion’s house. Darrion and Darisha were already there waiting for him with food ready, and he immediately joined them for lunch.“So, I found some information about the Fire Kingdom and its surrounding. Is there anything you want to know?” Darrion asked after he swallowed his food.“Learning from experience, I rather talk it out with you after eating,” Jai answered before he fed himself a spoonful of food.Darisha giggled.Darrion frowned. “What? What’s wrong with me?”“You talk gibberish when you’re munching your food. I can make out simple words, but not an entire passage,” Jai said. “We’re doing it after we eat.”Darrion whined a bit and they continued eating. Half an hour later, they were done, and they were now enjoying dessert. It was the blueberry cake Darisha gave Jai before. It was sweet and refreshing after a meal

320 - Every Step of The Way

“Wait. I don’t understand. You’re coming with me?” the windlet nodded. “But don’t you have your job as a windlet? I’ll be going for at least one month. Do you have any idea how many days that is?” Jai asked. “Thirty days! You can lose your job!”Darrion smiled. “Relax, Jai. Everything’s been taken care of.”“What do you mean by that?” Jai frowned.“I have a mission. I’ll be accompanying you,” Darrion smiled.Jai blinked, suddenly feeling relaxed because he wasn’t exactly the only reason. “Oh… Okay… Part of it makes sense to me. So… You’ll be going with me in the span of your mission. How long are you going to be in the Fire Kingdom and what kind of mission? Maybe I can help you while we’re there. Two birds with one stone, you know?”Darrion snickered. “Jai. The mission is ‘you&rsq
